The Patio Pacific Quick Panel III Pet Door is the perfect solution for adding a pet door to your sliding glass window. It is appropriate for more temperate climates or where a lighter weight panel is desired, and combines extra-heavy 3/16" single pane tempered glass with the superior, award winning Endura Flap (see below). It is highly wind-resistant and includes a "draft stopper". The Quick Panel III pet door is constructed of beefy metal framing and has a sturdy locking flap cover. No tools are required for installation and there are even a couple of built-in features that allow you to make a perfect fit or even make corrections to your installation, just in case your measurements are slightly off. All other patio pet doors introduce a large bug gap - included with the Quick Panel III is the Bug Warden, a bug blocking gap filler that keeps pests from entering.

The heart of any pet door is the flap, and pet door flaps have always been a big disappointment to the pet door owner. They leak, they don't insulate, they pinch the pet, they blow open, they don't fit the pet and they wear out quickly so the user needs to buy an expensive replacement flap and start over again. Until Now! The award winning Endura Flap Pet Door for Doors is the premium solution for adding a pet door to your home. If you've never owned a pet door before, you're going to be very satisfied - it does everything you think it should. But if you have ever owned a pet door, hold on to your socks. You're not going to believe how much better this is that what you've had in the past.

The standards which the Endura Flap is built, and no other pet door is, are as follows:

Be flexible and safe

Seal tightly against weather - Insulate like dual pane glass - Not yellow in the sun

Last 'forever' - Remain flexible in very low temperatures - Have appropriate dimensions

More About the Patio Pacific Patented Adjustable Rise
The Quick Panel III Pet Door for Sliding Glass Doors features a User Adjustable 'Rise' - which refers to the height of the flap above the base of the pet door. The size of the rise is very important to the comfort of your pet - a higher rise gets the flap up higher for a taller dog which avoids him having to stoop to get through - on the other hand, a lower rise is less to step over for smaller dogs. The adjustable rise concept greatly increases your flexibility with the pet door. By simply removing the bottom flap assembly and cross pieces with a Phillips head screwdriver, you can rearrange the order of the cross pieces to get the rise higher or lower. The #06 Small Flap pet door may be adjusted to have a 3" or 5" step-over which is just as important to comfortably fitting the pet as are the width and height of the flap opening. The 3" rise will have a 14" maximum height at the withers of the pet door, while the 5" rise will have a 16" maximum height.

More About the "Anti-Whoops" Height Adjustment
You mis-measured your panel pet door! Don't panic, you may be able to salvage the situation by using the "anti-whoops" feature to make your panel about 1" taller. You use 1" lumber to raise you panel slightly; or to make your panel slightly shorter you may trim the flanges that accept the height extension with a hacksaw.

How will I lock up my house?
The regular height Thermo Panel IIIe, Quick Panel III and Thermo Panel IIe Magnetic all incorporate a "C Clamp" type lock that mounts on the top track wall behind the sliding door. These locks, while very effective, do not require any tools to install.

Another approach that can be used with all patio pet doors is to incorporated a "Charley Bar" either as the only lock or as a supplement to one of the above locking methods. The Charlie Bar is similar to the "broomstick in the track" idea but avoids the stooping and is adjustable. They may only be used with an inside track sliding glass door. One particular advantage of the Charlie Bar is that the pressure is applied near the center of the sliding glass door and the result is that you get more equal pressure and a better seal between the pet panel and the sliding glass door.
